Berlin. According to the NRW parliamentary election, the Union has further expanded its gap with the SPD, according to a survey. Martin Schulz, too, is in the downtrend in the electorate: in the direct election question, the SPD chancellor candidate fell to 29 per cent. At the party conference in Bavaria, however, he was fighting.

According to the survey

In the Sunday trend of the opinion research institute Emnid for the “Bild am Sonntag” the SPD lost once again and now still reaches 26 percent. CDU / CSU could improve by one point to 38 per cent. The two camps are now separated by twelve percentage points.

Left (nine per cent) and green (seven per cent) also lost slightly, the FDP improved by one point to seven per cent. The AfD was eight percent as before.

only 15 percent of respondents believe that SPD chancellor candidate Martin Schulz will become Chancellor in the autumn. 76 percent do not believe this. At the end of February, 36 percent of the company’s office was still in business and 50 percent was not.

Martin Schulz, falls asleep in the direct election question

Only 29 percent said they would opt for Martin Schulz if the Chancellor could be elected directly. 53 percent would elect Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU). At the beginning of February, Schulz still had a 46 per cent pre-Merkel with 40 per cent.

In the NRW election a week ago the red-green government alliance suffered a heavy defeat. On Tuesday, CDU-Landesche Armin Laschet wants to start negotiations with the FDP coalition negotiations.

“Now we have a thirst”

Despite these losses, Schulz still believes in a victory at the Bundestag election. “Now we have a thirst, now we have hard days behind us,” he said on Sunday at the regional party conference of the Bavarian SPD in Schweinfurt. Nevertheless, the SPD is still better off than at the end of January, when the SPD was only 20 or 21 percent in polls: “We now have 26 or 27 percent.”

In Schweinfurt, he called on his party to be united: in the SPD, “a time when you have to stand together, because you know, is a basic directional decision,” he said. He criticized the tax relief announced by the Union as a dubious election campaign. “There is no answer to how the badge of federal budget is to be financed.”

The powerful taxation announced by CSU

Boss Horst Seehofer was not justified by the bubbling surprises. “They are the result of the zero-interest policy, they are one-off surpluses, and if I now use this as an option, the logic is clear that we will soon have to cut spending or increase taxes,” Schulz highlighted.
